Pharmacology

Create a handout, pamphlet, or other resource that you might give to a patient that would help explain the concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as they relate to psychiatric medications. Make sure to use APA format, within the last 5 yrs in 7th ed APA format, for any referenced information. All graphics or graphs must also be referenced in APA format. Be sure your resource addresses the following concepts: Absorption Bioavailability Clearance Distribution Elimination Half-life Metabolism Plasma concentration Steady-state Include a reference list for any sources cited. No maximum amount of sources, but need to cover all of the concepts. Use resources within the past 5 yrs as the latest. need cover page and reference pg. Make it simple to understand.

In a 2-3 pages paper, briefly answer the following questions: 1. What is a neurotransmitter? 2. How are neurotransmitters secreted into the synaptic cleft? 3. How does a neurotransmitter cause an action potential in a receiving neuron? 4. How is the signal between neurons stopped? 5. Briefly describe the Signal Transduction Cascade— what is the function of this process and how does it work? 6. What are the differences between voltage-gated and ligand-ion channels? What functions do they have in the brain? 7. What is a G-protein-linked receptor? 8. What is agonist, partial agonist, antagonist, and inverse agonists and how do they affect signal transduction? 9. Your assignment should be in APA format with evidence-based references to support your statements.10. Use at least 3 references within 5 years.

PHARM ASSIGNMENT • As a nurse practitioner, you prescribe medications for your patients. You make an error when prescribing medication to a 5-year-old patient. Rather than dosing him appropriately, you prescribe a dose suitable for an adult. • • A friend calls and asks you to prescribe a medication for her. You have this autonomy, but you don’t have your friend’s medical history. You write the prescription anyway. • • You see another nurse practitioner writing a prescription for her husband, who is not a patient of the nurse practitioner. The prescription is for a narcotic. You can’t decide whether or not to report the incident. • During your lunch break at the hospital, you read a journal article on pharmacoeconomics. You think of a couple of patients who have recently mentioned their financial difficulties. You wonder if some of the expensive drugs you have prescribed are sufficiently managing the patients’ health conditions and improving their quality of life. During this week of Week 1, we will analyze factors that may influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics processes of a patient and assess the details of a personalized plan of care that you develop based on influencing factors and patient history. We will also evaluate and analyze ethical and legal implications and practices related to prescribing drugs, including disclosure and nondisclosure, and analyze the process of writing prescriptions to avoid medication errors. The learning objectives are as listed below: • Analyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in patients • Assess patient factors and history to develop personalized plans of care • Evaluate ethical and legal implications related to prescribing drugs • Analyze ethical and legal practices of prescribing drugs • Analyze strategies to address disclosure and nondisclosure • Justify advanced practice nurse strategies to guide prescription drug decision-making • Analyze the process of writing prescriptions to avoid medication errors  • Assignment: Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs:

Directions Address the following in a paper no longer than two double-spaced pages (not including the reference page) and in APA format. Include at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based references. 1-Explain the differences between the four main actions a drug can have after binding to a receptor. Describe what an agonist, partial agonist, antagonist, and inverse agonist are. List one or two psychiatric medications that are an example of each of these categories. 2-What is a G-protein-linked receptor? What is an ion channel? How do these differ from each other? Give an example of a neurotransmitter and a medication that act on a G-protein receptor and ion channel. 3-Explain how this information influences how you prescribe medications. Give an example of a patient case or scenario where understanding the drug’s action at the receptor would be critically important in safely treating the patient.

Your female patient presents with a temperature of 103?F, nausea, and pain on urination. She has a urinary tract infection and will be treated with sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Write a two-page coherent essay about this case and cover the following questions: What classification is this antibiotic? What is the mechanism of action of this antibiotic? What labs can help make the diagnosis of UTI? What patient education provided by the RN will you reinforce? Select one online patient education resource you would provide for this patient. Include the link to the resource, a description of the resource and a rationale for why this resource is appropriate.

A 25 yr. old taxi driver has come to his healthcare provider to obtain information and help for his “Hay fever”. He says he does not know how to take his medication because OTC (over the counter) drugs seem so confusing. His condition is diagnosed as allergic rhinitis and is seasonal, with reactions lasting from May until the end of June each year. He also says that he is occasionally bothered by dust during the rest of the year. He complains of headache; congestion, sneezing, rhinorrhea, and itchy, burning, watery eyes.  Answer the following 3 questions, using 2 references, one should be your pharmacology book. 1. What are the disadvantages of antihistamines for those who drive or use heavy equipment at work? 2. How do second-generation antihistamines work but do not cause sedation? Dexamethasone has been prescribed for a patient with COVID-19. 3. Describe the mechanism of action that makes this drug effective in the treatment of this virus. * Burchum, J. R., & Rosenthal, L. D.
